Review for Despicable Me
by  John Thielking

Despicable Me  PG  Action/Adventure/Comedy

This latest cartoon journey into the land of evil villanry is a mild, kid friendly movie.  The plot focuses on one old washed up villan who has had a lifelong dream of stealing the moon.  The villan comes of age and decides to adopt three little girls at first as part of his evil plot, but then...things change.  Four stars.

The movie is iffy because it has 18 violent scenes in it, most of which are pretty tame.  A man is run over by a caravan, tanks are shooting at random, the villan uses the freeze gun on people, freezing them solid, a dog bites the villan's hand, a munchkin hits another over the head, a munchkin shoots a rocket into a crowd, Grandma kicks the punching bag which ends up hurling the instructor, some pillars are constructed picturing minions being crushed beneath them, one villan uses the ice gun on another villan, someone shoots at the villan's rocket, villan gets punched, and blown up, kid kicks mad scientist, villan blows up game stand, one munchkin punches another, adoption agent hits villan with a book, villan electrocutes another villan, missiles blow up villan's house.

The previews included: non-violent previews for Smurfed, Alpha and Omega, Ramona and Beezus, and Nanny McPhee Returns as well as a somewhat violent preview for Cats and Dogs.
